Tag: Protein intake limits

According to a review published in the *ISRN Nutrition* journal, consuming protein beyond the recommended dietary allowance of 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day can pose serious health risks over time. While protein is vital for muscle repair and building, excess intake can lead to a host of negative health consequences that many people overlook in their pursuit of fitness or weight loss.

While no official Guinness World Record exists for **what is the most protein eaten in a day**, research shows the body can absorb a virtually unlimited amount of protein, though the amount utilized for muscle building is capped. This distinction between protein absorption and utilization is key to understanding the physiological limits and potential dangers of excessive intake.
